The Real-Time Monitoring System for In-Patient Based on Zigbee

Abstract

The paper introduces a real-time monitoring system for in-patient. The system is made up of two sub-systems: patient physical states data acquisition and communication system based on Zigbee technology, and hospital monitoring and control centre. The patient physical states data acquisition and communication system monitors the main physical parameters and movement status continuously. The information from data acquisition system is sent to hospital monitoring centre by Zigbee wireless communication module. The monitoring centre receives the information from each patient and save them to database, and then judges the states of patient by fuzzy reasoning. The data from patient can be displayed as graph or numeric on monitor if it is necessary, and then the doctor can diagnose the patient according to the recorded continuous data.
